Sorry I don't think I know you... but congrats! 
And don't let having kids stop you sailing.

After our first little'un. we still did the nationals when she was 4 months, but it was fortunate that the races had a lunch break because the crew was becoming a bit ' top-heavy' if you know what I mean  ;)

And of course eventually she went on to win 13 years later -   much to the annoyance of Mum  ;-(

I think we're a few weeks ahead of some of you with our latest. Imogen will be 6 months old tomorrow, and is gradually transforming from a screaming insomniac into a proper little ray of sunshine. At the other end of our brood Megan, the eldest of our 5 daughters will be 12 next week. She won a silver pot at the club prizegiving last month for "Most Improved Crew" thanks to her efforts at the sharp end of 2631.

Thanks a lot guys, we are very happy with the little'un - Might bring him to the training day for an introduction to the fleet he will be sailing in. Might even go for a sail myself if I have my boat back by then  :)
do the RYA also offer childcare as well as coaching. as seems we as a fleet need it!
